South Florida COVID-19 Trajectory

Introduction

Public understanding of science is critical in times of crisis. The following analysis was conducted to examine the trajectory of COVID-19 in the South Florida counties of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. For phased reopening, the White House has set guidelines for local municipalities in their “Opening Up American Again” report. In the report, it is highly suggested that:

1. Local areas show a downward trajectory in the number of positive cases as a percent of total tests over a two-week period, and
2. Local hospitals have capacity to handle all patients without crisis care.

The analysis begins by looking at the number of new positive cases each day and the number of total tests performed each day. The figures are presented together because as there is more testing, there are likely to be more positive test results. Therefore, the proportion of positive cases is also calculated. Given a flat or increasing number of tests performed, the proportion of positive cases is the key metric to be used when looking at epidemic trajectory. It is recommended that this proportion not exceed 5%.

Finally, to ensure hospitals can meet demand without crisis care, the COVID-19 positive hospitalization census, COVID-19 positive ICU census, and COVID-19 positive ventilation census is plotted over time. Census refers to the number of COVID-19 positive patients in the hospital, ICU, and on ventilators, respectively, on a given day.

For Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, this document shows the

• Full testing counts data,
• Count of positive and total COVID-19 tests since mid-March,
• Proportion of positive counts to total counts within the last two weeks,
• Proportion of positive counts to total counts since mid-March,
• Full COVID-19 hospitalization census data, and
• Counts of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 since the beginning of April

Note: 5-day moving averages are used to smooth data. Note: On 8/31 there was a one-time historical data submission of a large number of cases from a large laboratory. The number of cases for 8/31 in the current report excludes this historical data submission.

Total COVID-19 Tests by Day

The average number of COVID-19 tests performed each day increased from about 2,000 in to in early April to around 12,500 in August. Over the past two weeks, there has been an average decrease of -207 fewer tests performed each day in Miami-Dade County. This data is presented on a log scale.

Positive COVID-19 Tests by Day

There was a general decrease in the number of new positive test results from early April until around mid May when Miami-Dade reopened. Afterwards, this trend flattened out and then increased. Over the past two weeks, there has been an average decrease of -41 fewer positive cases each day, per day in Miami-Dade County.

Proportion of Positive Cases within Past Two Weeks

During the 14-day period from 18 August to 01 September, there was a decrease in the proportion of positive COVID-19 cases reported in Miami-Dade County. Over this period, there was an average change of -0.26 percentage points per day for new positive cases. Given a flat or increasing number of tests performed, the proportion of positive tests obtained is the key metric for examining COVID-19 trajectory. The percentage of positive test results obtained has exceeded the 5% positive threshold recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for reopening.

Proportion of Positive COVID-19 Tests by Day

Overall, the proportion of positive test results out of all tests decreased significantly from just under 20% in early April to the proportion of about 5% at the end of May. This is function of test availability and the population being tested. After reopening, the proportion of positive tests increased steadily until late July. Subsequently, there has been a consistent decline in positivity rate, reaching the current average. However, the positivity rate is still over the 5% recommended by the WHO. Given a flat or increasing number of tests performed, an increase in the proportion of positive tests obtained points to evidence of increased COVID-19 community spread in Miami-Dade county.

COVID-19 Hospitalization Data

Full Data

The data below is COVID-19 hospital census data for Miami-Dade County for all dates with available data since April 2.These columns are: the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 (Hospitalized), the number of patients in intensive care with COVID-19 (ICU), the number of patients in intensive care with COVID-19 who are also on ventilators (Ventilated), the number of patients positive for COVID-19 that were admitted the previous day (AdmitPrevDay), the number of patients recovered from COVID-19 that were discharged the previous day (DischPrevDay), and the net admission of patients positive for COVID-19 the previous day (DeltaAdmit; a negative value means more recovered patients were discharged than sick patients admitted).

Overall from March 16th to approximately May 25th in Miami-Dade County, there was a decrease in the number of deaths per day. The orange triangle depicts the county reopening date. This decrease in deaths may be attributable to advances in COVID-19 treatments and standard of care. A decrease in median age of those impacted could also partially explain this decrease. Despite this, there has been a recent increase in deaths reported per day for Miami-Dade County. The peak number of deaths so far reported was 59 on July 6th.

Note: Due to delays in classifying the cause of death and thus of reporting deaths due to COVID-19, the most recent data will undercount the number of deaths. For this reason, the last six weeks were excluded from this analysis of deaths. Data may also be missing from prior to this.

Hospital COVID-19 Census Trajectory

We now show a census plot of hospitalizations, patients in ICU, and those in ICU on ventilators (shown on a log scale) for Broward County.

On September 2nd, 456 COVID-positive patients were hospitalized, this was down from a high of 1442 hospitalized on July 23rd. On September 2nd, 120 COVID-positive patients were in the ICU, this was down from a high of 291 on July 24th. Finally, on September 2nd, 106 COVID-positive patients were on ventilators, this was down from a high of 223 on July 28th.This represents a decreasing hospitalization burden.

We also show the proportion of patients hospitalized who are in the ICU and the proportion of those patients in the ICU who are ventilated.

Overall, the percentage of COVID-19 hospitalized patients needing intensive care has decreased from over 35% in early April, to the current rate of below 25%. In addition, the percentage of COVID-19 ICU patients requiring ventilation decreased from over approximately 85% in early April, to under 60% in June. However, over the past two months, this has again began to increase to over 85% currently.

In Broward County, death rose until mid April before decreasing until approximately May 18th, the day the county opened (depicted by orange triangle). There has been a significant recent increase in deaths per day for Broward County. The peak number of deaths thus far reported was 30 on July 9th.

Note: Due to delays in classifying the cause of death and thus of reporting deaths due to COVID-19, the most recent data will undercount the number of deaths. For this reason, the last six weeks were excluded from this analysis of deaths.

In Palm Beach County, COVID-positive deaths rose until mid April and afterward have been decreasing. This decrease in deaths may be attributable to advances in COVID-19 treatments and standard of care. A decrease in median age of those impacted could also partially explain this decrease. Recently, there has been a signficant increase in the number of deaths per day for Palm Beach County. Thus far, the peak number of deaths per day was 24 on June 27th.

Note: Due to delays in classifying the cause of death and thus of reporting deaths due to COVID-19, the most recent data will undercount the number of deaths. For this reason, the last six weeks were excluded from this analysis of deaths.
